WILL STICK TO GOLD.

President Cleveland Declares Himself on the Financial Situation. WASHINGTON, April 24. —In an interview concerning the financial situation President Cleveland said: “The inclination on the part of the public to accept newspaper reports concerning the intentions of those charged with the management of our national finances seems to justify my emphatic contradiction of the statement that the redemption of any kind of treasury notes except in gold has at any time been determined upon or contemplated by the secretary of the treasury or any other member of the present administration. The president and his cabinet are absolutely harmonious in the determination to exercise every power conferred upon them to maintain the public credit, to keep the public faith and to preserve the parity between gold and silver and between all financial obligations of the government “While the law of 1890 forcing the purchase of a fixed amount of silver every month provides that the secretary of the treasury, in his discretion, may redeem in either gold or silver the treasury notes given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declaration of the policy of the government to maintain the parity between the two metals seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as to dictate their redemption in gold. Of course, perplexities and difficulties have grown out of an unfortunate financial policy which we found in vogue and embarrassments have arisen from ill-advised financial legislation confronting us at every turn, but with cheerful confidence among the people and a patriotic disposition to cooperate, threatened danger will be averted pending a legislative return to a better and sounder financial plan. The strong credit of the country, still unimpaired, and the good ssnse of our people, which has never failed in time of need, are at hand to save us from disaster.”

Comparative quiet reigned at the treasury department Saturday, and Secretary Carlisle was encouraged by offers of about $4,000,000 in gold from western banks to replenish the reserve. This raises the reserve to over $100,000,000, but it is likely to be pulled down again this week by additional shipments to Europe. The amount of these shipments was stated in dispatches received here as likely to reach $10,000,000. This would reduce the reserve, if no gold were received during the week, to $90,000,000, and the government could not stand many weeks of such large exports. The news that the shipments of Tuesday will probably be unusually heavy does not give Mr. Carlisle any uneasiness as he feels sure that the western banks will do as handsomely in supplying him with gold for emergencies as they did Saturday. Moreover it is understood that Mr. Carlisle’s statement of last Thursday has been supplemented since by private correspondence with leading western bankers who are known to control large resources of gold with a view to have them cooperate with the treasury. The administration has already decided against the Wall street men, and their demand for an issue of bonds has been answered in the negative. So long as it is possible for the government to get along without a bond issue, just so long will the present policy of the treasury department be adhered to. Should the demand for gold during the coming week exceed the amount of free gold in the treasury there is nothing in the situation to suggest any other policy than that which was followed under similar circumstances on last Friday when the gold reserve was unflinchingly entrenched upon. The expenditures so far this month have been heavy, exceeding the receipts by over $2,000,000. The receipts have been $22,700,000 and expenditures $24,900,000. This has had the effect of reducing the net cash balance in the treasury, which to-day is $24,905,000, and of this amount $1[illegible],600,000 is in subsidiary coin and $11,000,000 is in national bank depositories.

GEN. E. F. BEALE DEAD.

Succumbs to a Complication of Diseases at His Washington Home. WASHINGTON, April 24.— Gen. Edward Fitzgerald Beale died at his residence in this city Saturday from a complication of diseases. [He served with distinction in the Mexican war and in 1861 was commissioned surveyor general for California by President Lincoln, but declined the position in order that he might actively serve in the federal army during the civil war. In 1876 he was appointed United States minister to Austria by President Grant, but resigned after a year’s service and devoted himself to superintending his large sheep and cattle ranch in southern California, and to other interests. He had lived for many years in this city at the house in Lafayette square, where he died. Gen. Beale was one of Gen. Grant’s warmest friends, and it was at Gen. Beale's house that Gen. Grant made his home when visiting this city after his trip around the world.]

KILLED BY THE CARS.

An Indiana Farmer, His Wife and Three Children Lose Their Lives at a Crossing Near Wabash. WABASH, Ind., April 24. —An appalling accident occurred at 11 o’clock Saturday in Jackson township, 9 miles southeast of this city. An east-bound express train on the Nickel Plate railroad, while running at a high rate of speed and rounding a sharp curve, struck a wagon containing the family of John S. Smith, consisting of himself, wife and three small children. All were instantly killed, their bodies being horribly mutilated. The head of the youngest child a mere babe, was found on the running board of the engine. The horses escaped uninjured. Mr. Smith was a wealthy farmer.

SEVEN PERSONS KILLED.

Bad Wreck on a Branch of the Somerset & Cambria Railroad. PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 26. —A special to the Commercial Gazette says a frightful wreek occurred on the Bare Rock railroad shortly before 6 o’clock Tuesday evening. The road is about 2 miles in length and runs from Woys station, on the Somerset & Cambria road, to the quarries of the Somerset Stone company. The grade is very steep, being about 150 feet to the mile. In coming down Tuesday evening the train, composed of an engine with two cars loaded with large block stone in the rear, became unmanageable and dashed down the grade at a tremendous speed. On the engine were Engineer Neff, his little son Russell and a farmer, John E. Pile, with his wife and daughter, while on the cars were some twenty laborers returning from the day’s work. At the foot of the grade were standing a number of cars loaded with stone. Into these the runaway train dashed with fearful velocity. The engine and cars were thrown from the track and Pile, his wife and daughter were buried under the engine. When taken out they were dead. Engineer Neff and his son were severely scalded, the latter fatally. A number of the laborers jumped from the train before the crash came. Those who staid on were buried in the wreck. Seven dead bodies have been taken from the wreck.

GIVEN TO CHICAGO.

The Kretchmar Statue of Columbus Unveiled on the Lake Front. CHICAGO, April 26. —The bronze statue of Columbus, the work of Howard Kretchmar, the well-known sculptor, erected in Lake Front park, just opposite Congress street, was unveiled at 3 p. m. The ceremonies were simple. Mr. Kretchmar delivered the statue and pedestal to the committee appointed by the board of directors of the World’s Columbian exposition in a short address. Director-General Davis, representing the board, then delivered it to Ferdinand W. Peck, acting president, who on behalf of the World's Columbian exposition formally presented it to the city of Chicago, the address of acceptance being made by Mayor Harrison. The statue is bronze, 20 feet high; the pedestal is 30 feet high and the base stands 8 feet above the level of the lake. It is said to be the largest bronze statue in the country, weighing fifteen tons. It is an impressive representation of Columbus; showing the emotion and surprise which he experienced on the eventful morning when he sighted land.

A PIONEER GONE.

Death of Gen. Robert Smith at Carthage, Ill.—He Was a Veteran of Two Wars. CARTHAGE, Ill., April 26.—Gen. Robert Smith died at his home near here Thursday morning, aged 86 years. Gen. Smith was doubtless the most notable pioneer citizen of Illinois. He was born in Philadelphia August 2, 1806, and came to Hancock county in 1833. He served with distinction in the Mexican war and in the war of the rebellion, in the latter being breveted as general for bravery. He was in charge of the old Carthage jail June 27, 1844, when the Mormon prophets Joseph and Hiram Smith were killed by a mob. During the Mormon war in Hancock county Gen. Smith had command of this military organization and was wounded at the battle of Nauvoo in September, 1846.
